In politica, lucrurile sunt deseori neasteptate si imprevizibile.

Cand McCain, contrar asteptarilor, a ales-o pe Sarah Palin ca “vice“, s-a speculat pe drept ca doreste sa castige voturile femeilor dezamagite de iesirea din cursa a lui Hillary Clinton.

Acel procentaj deloc neglijabil de peste 20% de votanti (votante?) care spuneau oricum ca n-or sa voteze pentru Obama, ci pentru McCain.

Sarah Palin a fost o obisnuita a concursurilor de frumusete: in 1984 a castigat Miss Wasilla, a iesit Miss Congeniality si-a fost a doua la Miss Alaska.

Un sondaj recent arata acum ca “Miss” Palin a cucerit (iar) mai degraba inimile barbatilor, nu ale femeilor! Iata ce scrie CNN:

Three quarters of all voters think McCain chose a female running mate specifically because he thought adding a woman to the Republican ticket would help him win in November.

“If McCain was hoping to boost his share of the women’s vote, it didn’t work,” Holland said.

“Women now appear slightly more likely to vote for Obama than they did a week ago, 53 percent now, compared to 50 percent. But McCain picked up a couple of points among men.
